Jio Mier

 

The Bisons won their second extra-inning game in the last three days on Sunday, beating the IronPigs 5-3 on Father's Day afternoon. The Herd takes three of four from Lehigh Valley in a series at Coca-Cola Park.

 

In the top of the 10th inning, Jio Mier connected for a two-run home run, breaking a 3-3 tie that had held since the seventh inning. Mier's bomb, which came off reliever Michael Mariot, is just his second homer of the year, with his first long ball of the season coming on Friday against the Pigs.

 

Left fielder Andy Burns had three of the Bisons' 10 hits, and was a triple shy of the cycle.

 

Burns put Buffalo up 1-0 in the second inning, shooting a solo home run off starter David Buchanan. Burns, in his second game since returning to the Herd after a stint with the Blue Jays, now has three homers this year. He doubled in the top of the fifth, and scored on a sac-fly by Junior Lake to make it 2-0.

 

Bisons' starter Wade LeBlanc retired the first eight hitters he faced, before Darnell Sweeney ripped a single up the middle in the third. He was thrown out by catcher A.J. Jimenez on a stolen base attempt.

 

Five Lehigh Valley singles in the bottom of the fifth tied the game at two. With two runners on base for the first time against LeBlanc, Cedric Hunter cut the Bisons' lead in half, picking up a RBI single. Emmanuel Burriss tied the game at two with a single with two runners on. A running catch by Andy Burns on a shot by J.P. Crawford ended the inning, stranding runners on the corners.

 

The IronPigs put runners on the corners in the sixth, when Max Stassi gave the Pigs a 3-2 lead, drilling a double in to leftfield. LeBlanc then struck out Cedric Hunter with runners on second and third, keeping it a one-run game.

 

Buffalo tied the score at three in the top of the seventh, as A.J. Jimenez bounced into a double play that scored Casey Kotchman.

 

LeBlanc left after 6.0 innings, allowing three earned runs and a season-high 10 hits. IronPigs' starter Buchanan left with the score tied at three, pitching 7.2 innings, yielding nine hits. Neither starter issued a walk, and both allowed three earned runs and struck out four hitters, earning no-decisions.

 

Colt Hynes entered in the bottom of the seventh for the Herd, and stranded a J.P. Crawford triple. Ben Rowen hurled a perfect eighth inning.

 

With Aaron Loup on the mound in the bottom of the ninth, IronPigs' first baseman Max Stassi and manager Dave Brundage were both ejected for arguing balls and strikes by home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz. Loup is creditied with his second win of the season.

 

Dustin Antolin earned his seventh save of the year with a scoreless 10th inning.

 

The Bisons will now head home, and begin a four-game series from Coca-Cola Field with the Louisville Bats. First pitch on Monday is scheduled for 7:05 p.m., with Roberto Hernandez taking the pump for the Herd. Jon Moscot is slated to oppose him for Louisville.

 

BISONS NOTES:

Dalton Pompey has been placed on the disabled list with a concussion. Pompey crashed into the leftfield wall while making a catch in Saturday's first game. Bobby Korecky has been activated off the DL. Reliever Patrick McCoy has also been activated off the disabled list, and has been traded to the Colorado Rockies... Wade LeBlanc has yet to allow more than three earned runs in 14 starts… Junior Lake now has a seven-game hitting streak... Ben Rowen brings his scoreless inning streak of 21.1 innings, with 15 straight scoreless outings since May 8.

Dwight Smith Jr.

 

AKRON - The New Hampshire Fisher Cats couldn't avoid the sweep Sunday afternoon, falling 2-1 in 10 innings on Father's Day to the Akron RubberDucks at Canal Park in Akron.

 

The Fisher Cats (29-39) dropped to a season-worst 10 games below .500 with the loss, their seventh walk-off loss of the season. The RubberDucks (41-29) completed their first sweep of New Hampshire since June 4-6 of 2013 in Akron. Dwight Smith, Jr. extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a first-inning single, matching a career-long stretch and moving into a tie for third place all-time for a Fisher Cat.

 

Akron took the early lead in the bottom of the first inning against Fisher Cats starter Casey Lawrence, who issued a one-out walk to Bradley Zimmer. The speedy Zimmer then stole second and third, coming in on a two-out single by Nellie Rodriguez to give Akron the 1-0 lead.

 

New Hampshire evened it up in the top of the third against Akron starting pitcher Rob Kaminsky. Wilkin Castillo led off the frame with a double to deep left and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. Roemon Fields then punched a single to left, scoring Castillo and tying the game 1-1.

 

The score stayed knotted up until the bottom of the tenth inning, as reliever Jason Berken (L, 2-7) surrendered a leadoff single to Jeremy Lucas. With new reliever Matt Dermody in the game, Jordan Smith socked a triple to right, plating Lucas for the winning run.

 

Lawrence earned a no-decision, allowing a run on four hits and two walks over six innings. His nine strikeouts matched a career high. Berken took the loss despite three innings of good relief, giving up a run on three hits and fanning one. Dermody failed to retire the only batter he faced.

 

The Fisher Cats will try to right the ship Monday night against the Erie SeaWolves, with righty Casey Lawrence starting for New Hampshire against Akron lefty Rob Kaminsky. First pitch from Canal Park is at 2:05 p.m., and Ben Gellman has the call starting at 1:45 p.m. on the Fisher Cats Radio Network.

LANSING, Mich. - Ryan Hissey slugged a game-winning RBI double in the bottom of the 11th inning, and the Lansing Lugnuts (36-34) closed the first half with a thrilling 5-4 Father's Day win over the West Michigan Whitecaps (39-28) on Sunday afternoon at Cooley Law School Stadium.

 

The result gave South Bend the first-half Eastern Division title and home-field advantage over West Michigan in the Midwest League playoffs come September.

 

The Whitecaps twice rallied against the Lugnuts bullpen, tying the game at 3-3 on a Will Maddox two-run homer in the eighth inning and at 4-4 on a Cam Gibson two-out RBI single.

 

Reliever Josh DeGraaf (Win, 4-4) settled matters down, facing the minimum in the tenth and eleventh innings, striking out two, and putting the Lugnuts in position for the win.

 

Jake Thomas led off the bottom of the eleventh with a single against Jordan Smith (Loss, 4-3), taking second on a wild pitch. Max Pentecost struck out looking before Hissey launched a fly ball to deepest right-center. West Michigan right fielder Derek Hill gave a leap at the front of the warning track but was unable to come up with the ball, and Thomas streaked around the bases with the game-winning run.

 

The starting matchup was headlined by Midwest League ERA leader Matt Hall on the mound for the Whitecaps, but he was outpitched by Lugnuts starter Jordan Romano. Hall allowed a season-high three runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings, raising his ERA from 0.73 to 1.09. Romano countered with five hits, two walks and seven strikeouts in five innings, allowing only a second-inning run, as the Lugnuts built a 3-1 lead.

 

Hissey and Ryan Metzler each collected three hits for the Lugnuts, with Metzler driving in the tie-breaking run in the eighth with a triple off of right fielder Hill's glove.

 

Whitecaps second baseman Brett Pirtle was ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the eleventh inning.

 

The Midwest League now breaks for the 52nd All-Star Classic, hosted on Tuesday night at Cedar Rapids' Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

 

The Lugnuts will be represented by five players - pitchers Jon Harris, Dusty Isaacs and Angel Perdomo and position players Andrew Guillotte and Juan Kelly.

 

The second half of the MWL season opens with a four-game homestand at Cooley Law School Stadium, pitting these very same West Michigan Whitecaps against the Lansing Lugnuts. Join the fun on Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. with a Labatt Thirsty Thursday Gone Wild: Ode to Facial Hair with $2 beers and half-off craft beers!

Should have given them Pompey instead of Hoffman.

 

That's not really how trades work. Both parties have to agree to the player.
